lates to Northwest Texas. 1t has been
practically demonstrated that this is the
finest portion of state for agricultural
purposes, the yield of wheat in this county
last year averaging twenty-six bushels
per acre, while corn, oats, barley, rye,
millet, sorghum as well as vegetables,
such as potatoes, both Irish and sweet,
cabbages. beans, peas, turnips, oeets,
melons, etc, did proportionately well.
No, within very few years farming lands
which can now be bought here at from 81
to So per acre will readily sell for from
$40 to $50 per acre. Within less than
five years from this date Vernon will have
q population of at least 10, 900 inhabitants,
and by fast trains we shall be but FOUR
hours distant from Fort Worth, the rail-
road center and commercial metropolis OF
North Texas. Yes, the opinion of this
Chicago journalist will soon De revised,

to shrewd business men and far-seeing
spectators that real estate in this section

Interstate Agricultural Convention at Lake
Charles

Interstate Agricultural Convention at Lake
Charles. -
Gov. McEnery of Louisiana, has issued
call for an interstate convention in the
interest of stockraising, dairying, fruit
growing and general agriculture, TO. be
held at Lake Charles, La, on the I'D,
23d and oath of February, 1887.
The convention will DE formally opened
on Wednesday morning after the close Of
Mardi Gras.
One of the most noteworthy indics-
tions of the great industrial progress of
the Gulf States is the marked attention
of their public men to agriculture and
the efforts they are making to bring the
theory and the methods of agriculture in
those states into harmony with the teach
iDgs of science and the highest demands
of progressive civilization. Nature las
been prodigel of her gifts to the state of
Louisiana. For fertility of soil, salu-
orious climate, and for great variety of
products, Louisiana ranks among the
most favored countries of the globe.
Gov. McEnery has shown commendable
wisdom in thus giving the weight of his
official influence to call a convention
which cannot fail fc be of inestimsble
value to the farm interest OF that state
and the country generally. We trust it
may be widely noticed by the press, and
that the results may be all the people an
ticipate.
This convention is so called that excur-
sionists can remain in New Orleans till
the close of Msrdi Gras snd take the train
for Lake Charles on Tuesday evening.
Full information in regard to the con-
vention and the low rates of transporta-
ton, can be obtaind by addressing the
secretary, S.A. KNAPP,
Lake Charles, La.

Not long since the editor of a leading
Chicago paper madea tour through Texas,
and in writing of the state after hisreturn
home, spoke of West Texas as a region
fit only for grazing purposes. The same
used to to be said, and was commonly &C.
oepted as correct, of all that portion of
the state lying west of the timber belt,
but this idea has long since been ex-
ploded and shown to be erroneous. So,
toe, in the near future, il indeed it has
not already, will this Chicago editors
opinion of West Texas, as referred to
above, be revised, especially so far as re-

TEMPLE, TEX, Jan. 2, 1851,

To the Editor of the Gazette.
In your paper to-day appears this query:
"wtll ice Brown, senator from Georgia, resign
his position and allow Gordon to go in?" an
swer, that he must necessarily do 80 in order
that the trade made between them when Cor
don resigned his seat in tee enate may be con-
summated. AN EN-GEoRGIAN.
Unless our GeorgisTexan knows such
barter was made between Brown and
Gordon he should not assert it. Such
rumors were current at the time of Cor
don's resignation, but THE GAZETTE did
not see any proof of their truth.

1t Looks That Way.

THE GAZETTE says a Fort Worth
youngster Of six years was told before
Christmas that he needn't expect any
thing as Santa Claus would stop at Dsl-
las this year. Thinking moment, the
little fellows face brightend, and he
SAID: "You can't fool me. guess Santa
Claus has to come here all the same to
get on the train"
Our little fellows expect to receive
their next Christmas presents over the
Fort Worth Western railroad.

THERE is in progress of construction in
England battery of eighty-ton guns,
which is to be sent to Vancouver Island
on the Pacific coast. Once this is in posi-
ton Great Britain will have an imp-eg-
nable naval depot, and all the towns built
around Puget sound will be virtually in
resch of these guns. Some morning our
wise statesmen may waken to the fact
that coast defenses are necessary when
the ounce of preventive is too small for
the demands of the case, and the pound
of cure q costly drug.

for his side, which aroused against him
the animosities of the colored people. At
his death he was over eighty years OF age,

usually intelligent. His remains have

Treatment of Burns.

In serious burn as soon as the fire
Is extinguished the clothes must be re-
moved. Ifnot already thoroughly wet
the injured part should be drenched
with water and the clothes cut away.
Everything must be sacrificed to get
ting them off without pulling, as tho
slightest dragging brings the skin too.
If patches of clothing adhere and will
not drop off they must be allowed to
remain. Dip cloths i'm thick solution
of common baking soda in water and
lay them over the burnt surface, band
aging lightly to keep them in place.
AS soon as dry spot appears on this
dressing wet it with the soda and
water by squeezing some on it. There
will be no smarting while it is saturated
and excludes the air. If rubber sheet
is not at hand. piece of oil-cloth,
gossamer cloak, or any waterproof
article can be spread on the bed with
blanket over it, to receive the sufferer.
If the feet are cold heat should be APP
piled to them, and little stimulant
given il the pulse is weak. The bed
covering should be warm and light A
doctor should be sent for as soon as
possible. The gravity of burn is in
proportion to tho surface involved. A
deep burn is much less serious than q
superficial one twice the size. Pain is
good sign in severe burns, it shows
that there is still vitality to suffer.
Scalds can be treated in the same way.
In slight cases painting the surface
with thick mucilage will sometimes
give relief, or pouring oil over it and
then covering it with a coating of
-four. Anything that effectually ex-
cludes the air will relieve the pain.
Persons suffering from these accidents
should have concentrated nourishing
food and as much of it as they can
take with ease. Nature has large re-
pairs to make and must be provided
with material to carry them on. The
doctor will prescribe opiates as needed,
it is not safe for an unprofessional
person to meddle with thcm.-Eiisd-

May not the right government of
cities be found in more strictly limit
ing the power of cities or towns to in-

Has not the power of the rings
which have plundered our great cities
been founded mainly in the abuse of
public credit? Could Tweed have

What Am / 10 Do?

The symptoms OF Biliousness are
unhappily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Billions man is seldom a
breakfast eater. To frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for IL
guilds but none for solids of a morn
ing. His tongue will hardly bear In
spectiop at any time; if it is not white
and fu4red, it is rough at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
of order and Diarrhea or Constipation
may be a symptom or the two may al
ternate. There are often Hemor.
rhoids or even loss of blood. There
may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or flatulence and tender
ness in the pit OF the stomach. TC
correct all this, if not effect a cure
try Green's AuguSt Flo1cer; it costs
bnt a trifle, and thousands attest it:
efficacy.

A Long Time Ago.

Talking OF the subsidy and the
coming railroad to Astoria, Mr..
Henry Powell told us that he remem-
bered, when child, being present at
the opening of the first railway in En-
gland-that between Liverpool and
Manchester, in 1880, and had a dis
tinct memory OF the terrible fate Of Mr..
Huskisson, M. p, who was the
chief backer OF Geo. Stevenson, to
whose efforts was in great measure
due the success of the enterprise
amid q storm of derision. The un-
fortunate gentleman was killed by
the engine of the first train.
When the railroad is completed to
Astoria Mr.. Powell ought to have g
front seat in the forward coach oi
the train.
